NORTH VERNON, Ind. — Two men were busted on drug charges after they were pulled over by the Jennings County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO) on Sunday.
Deputies stopped the vehicle near Country Squire Lakes after a traffic violation, JCSO says. While speaking with the driver, Gary Shane Lowe, officers say they saw several items associated with illegal drug activity in plain view.
A canine partner was requested to assist with the traffic stop, resulting in a positive alert on the vehicle. A search of the vehicle allegedly revealed about five grams of suspected methamphetamine, a hydrocodone pill, syringes, and other drug-related items.
Lowe and passenger Randy McNeal were both taken into custody and were jailed on preliminary charges of possession of meth, possession of a syringe, possession of a controlled substance, maintaining a common nuisance, visiting a common nuisance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
